An updated deployment template for Hyperledger Fabric is now generally available. This new Azure Resource Manager template is available in the Azure Marketplace and allows you to configure and deploy a Hyperledger Fabric 1.3 network into your Azure subscriptions with just a few clicks. With this template, you can perform both single virtual machine (VM) (multi container) development and multi VM (scale out) models and connect multi-subscriptions via a private connection.

Connect Fabric nodes running Azure to nodes running in IBM Bluemix with this guidance. Orderers are run using full Kafka backend for production quality deployments and peer nodes can be run using either LevelDB or CouchDB for persistence and to enable analytics.
